    I think Oreos and pizza would be the two saddest dietary restrictions of celiac.

    The Joe-Joe's are a very, very close substitute and are almost like the real thing. 9/10, I'd say. The cream is ... this is blasphemy... even better than on regular Oreos. At Christmas, they come out with gluten free Candy Cane Joe-Joe's that have bits of candy canes in them. Those are really tasty if you're a fan of chocolate/peppermint like I am.

    Now pizza? There's just nothing in the gluten free world that comes close. I don't even bother any more.

    If eating Oreos is wrong then I don't want to be right.

    More chemicals for me!

    Are you interested in the pumpkin flavor?

    Stack three strips of crispy bacon neatly on top of each other, put a single row of 4-6 Oreos on top, depending on the length of the bacon, add three more strips of bacon, and you have a healthy Oreo bacon sandwich. Consume in a cookie-monster style, because no other way is possible. Enjoy!

    I would be, if they had a gluten free version.

    I'm surprised Oreo hasn't churned out a few new flavors.

    Flavors I could see them doing for the holidays

    Egg Nog
    Peppermint Bark
    Sweet Potato

    I prefer chips ahoy cookies! I hate the creme inside oreos; I always scrape the creme out and throw it away.

    I would most likely destroy that package...

    But, I absolutely love it when a person comes into an appreciation thread hating on whatever is being appreciated. :laugh:

    eewww that looks so disgusting lol. And I didn't say I hate oreos. I like eating oreos, but I hate the filling inside of it. I hate creme. Like I said before, I usually scrape the filling off and just eat the cookie.

    lol I wish you didn't show me that cookie. It will forever be in my nightmares.

    Hahaha... ooops. I get it.

    But...I *so* want to try those cookies, because of the oreo creme. I saw them at IGA a couple of weeks ago and thought "Damn, we hardly get anything like this". We don't get many of the oreo flavours here, and it sucks butt.

    Eh, you're good. Some come in here going on about how much damage we're doing to our bodies 'eating that crap'. Your post just reminded me of the last encounter. It was quite funny.

    Hehe. I've only had a few brands of grocery store chocolate chip cookies (don't really crave sweets), but I agree with you there. Only brand I can stand (of the ones I've had) are the Keebler Soft Batch ones.

    I really dislike those Wynterbourne, probably as much as you dislike Oreos. So you can have my Keeblers and I'll take your Oreos so we are even :wink:

    Keebler soft batch are poop.
    Chewy chips ahoy are great if microwaved a few seconds.

    Consigned. Although if I'm going to buy packaged cookies that aren't Oreos I prefer Pepperidge Farm Sausalito.

    A consistent source of disappointment in my life is the fact that we don't get the special edition Oreo flavours in Canada.

    I mean, I know they're never going to compare to the original. But I at least want to try!

    I've seen some of the special edition ones in Canada. S'mores ones were sold up here, pumpkin spice ones are in stores now, I saw them yesterday (I'm in Calgary right now). I can't remember which other flavors that I've seen here, but I know I've seen some. Definitely not as many flavors as there are south of the border, but there have been a few.

    Waaaat. Out of curiousity, which stores are you shopping at @crabbybrianna ? I'm in Ontario and have checked Walmart, Metro and Loblaws with no luck.

    The most I've seen here are sometimes mint and a lot of Olympics and Stanley Cup ones that are just regular Oreos with a special design.

    Just wanted to let you know @kathrynjean_ that I found the pumpkin spice Oreos at Sobey's this past weekend. No idea if you have a Sobey's near you, but they have them.

    My husband got me the pumpkin spice Oreos at Maxi. We're in Quebec.
    Ps....they're good with milk.


    Now......we need pecan pie ones!

    Oh gosh yes. I would actually buy Oreos again for those (I've been having, um, moderation issues around them lately).
